for me it would have to be the lunk3rhunt frog. My biggest fish was caught on it and it's the most fun. Now I am using lipless crank baits like the Strike King Red Eye Shad and they have produced some Giants for me and my buddies.

Anybody else use this? I use the 1/2oz with a 12" Manns Jelly Worm or a Zoom Magnum Uvibe. I like the action and how it presents the worm. Has anyone used this or something similar?

Drop an extra $20 an grab you a Quantum Smoke Inshore (its built for salt water and freshwater my favorite reel out of all the ones I own). But if that extra $20 is breaking the bank then go with the regular Quantum Smoke. Don't listen to the Quantum haters they exist lol

Must have lures coming from a bank guy are... Frog, squarebill, lipless, walk the dog bait, jig, soft plastics (these are always on me I travel light)

I use the Rage Craw on my bigger jigs and the baby craw for my small ones

I have Eva on two of my reels and cork on none but I am picking up some from Hawg tech for my Quantum Smoke Inshore, Abu Garcia Revo STX & SX. I personally like the look of the cork knobs

Got those MN chunks!! Nice fish

Nice fish I can't wait to catch my first smallie when I visit my buddy up in MN

Biggest is 8.1 on a lunk3r hunt LUNKER frog... I found a new spot that 6-9 is common I can't wait to do some FROGGIN there when the frogs come back out during the warm weather. Right now it's lipless, jigs, worms

Gotta love when the big girls come shallow and bite! Nothing better

Nice catches

My two are the 6" zoom lizard and the Rage Craw! Rage Craw is #1 cuz I can use it as a jig trailer big bass love em

Nice catch man

I always make long casts when bank fishing, or boating, when I am fishing topwater or cranks/spinnerbaits. I want to cover a lot of water and I don't want to spook the fish

Great mount man! I'm trying to mount a 10lber but I have come within a pound or two 4 different times, can I please get that extra 1 to 2lbs fishing gods? Lol

My buddy and I found this spot over the weekend and we call it Fat Camp. On Saturday I caught a 7lb 12oz out of there on a red eye shad and hooked into but lost 2 more of similar size. Then the next day my buddy caught one bigger than mine (I was on my way to The Fat Camp and I have the scale so this fish is unconfirmed weight wise)

I got a crazy story... I was fishing a popr last year and a fish broke me off and took my lure. Few days later I am back at that spot and I am fishing the same area where I got broke off. I wasn't paying attention and my popr was just sitting there. I hear a strike look up and there's ripples around my popr but I can still see it. I reel it in and to my surprise the popr I lost few days ago was attached to one of my hooks!! My buddy was with me the day I lost the popr and I sent him the pic and we both couldn't believe it. Another time I was fishing a lipless crank bait and I'm reeling it in and notice a piece of fishing line attached to my hook. Then a few feet behind is I see a jointed Swimbait swimming along lol. I looked it up and it turned out to be a Kanan Swimbait and this particular one retails for $20 not a bad catch at all!

Not sure about the biggest but you can't go wrong with a Rage Tail Rage Craw!!!

I'm a strike King square bill fan boy so I'm a little bias

Lunk3r hunt LUNKER frog in green tea

Congrats nice fish

Nice football during football season!!

Agreed on the President reel I had one of them as well loved it til I broke it on a fish

I have a Pflueger Patriarch $200, Quantum Smoke $160, Abu Garcia Orra SX $100 love them all. I don't use my spinning reels much anymore but the Smoke is my favorite followed by the Patriarch. The Orra will always have a special place because that was the first reel I got when I moved to FLORIDA and caught tons of quality fish with that thing.

Nice catch nothing like the sound of pulling drag!!
